This chapter focuses on measuring spatial pattern in floodplains and reviews 108 publications from 1934-2013 to determine trends, dominant paradigms, and approaches to measuring spatial pattern in floodplains. The development of new technologies, especially those associated with remotely sensed data capture, increases the ability to quantitatively measure the spatial complexity of floodplain surfa

Introduction: The pulsatility indices of the umbilical and uterine arteries are used as the surrogate measures of utero-placental perfusion. Combining the two might simplify the evaluation of total placental vascular impedance, possibly improve prediction of adverse outcomes, and help identify pregnancies with suspected fetal growth restriction that need more intense surveillance. Material and met

Despite the evidence of unmet support needs among young people who have lost a parent to cancer, only a few support group initiatives have been reported. This observational prospective study explored the psychosocial well-being of young people who participated in support groups at a Swedish specialist palliative care setting. On three occasions, 29 participants, aged 16–28 years, answered question

A selective and sensitive method is presented for biogenic amines (BA) determination. The novelty consists in coupling a highly selective electrochemical biosensor to a weak acid cation-exchange column for online detection of amines. A bienzyme design, based on a recently isolated amine oxidase from grass pea and commercial horseradish peroxidase, was used for the biosensor construction. The enzym

Distinct morphologic and clinical features associated with specific chromosomal abnormalities have been described in subgroups of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), which often are losses or gains and only rarely translocations. Among 103 consecutive MDS patients diagnosed and karyotyped at the Albert-Ludwigs University of Freiburg (ALU) between 1993 and 1999, two chronic myelomonocytic leukemias (C

Vid biblioteken i Burlöv och Ängelholm har tidigare bedrivits projekt att främja folkbibliotekens utveckling mot kulturhus (Kulturnämnden 2012). Arbetet med projekten, Kulturhusprojektet i Arlöv och Kulturstråket i Ängelholm, följdes i en studie av författaren och har rapporterats tidi-gare (Rivano Eckerdal 2013). Föreliggande rapport är resultatet av en uppföljande studie som be-dri¬vits under år

The problem of planning a trajectory for robots starting in an initial state and reaching a final state in a desired interval of time is tackled. We consider Model Predictive Control as an approach to the problem of point-to-point trajectory generation. We use the developed strategy to generate trajectories for transferring the state of the robot, fulfilling computational real-time requirements. E

This paper addresses test application time (TAT) reduction for core-based stacked 3D chips. In contrast to the traditional method of testing non-stacked chips where the same test schedule is applied both at wafer test and at final test, stacked 3D chips need a pre-bond test schedule for each individual chip and a different post-bond test schedule where all chips are jointly tested. We consider a s

We report the realisation of spectroscopic broadband transmission experiments on quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) under continuous wave operating conditions for drive currents up to laser threshold. This technique allows, for the first time, spectroscopic study of light transmission through the waveguide of QCLs in a very broad spectral range (λ~1.5-12 μm), limited only by the detector response and b

Coordination is an important success factor for a development project. Communication gaps, e.g. between product owners shaping the requirements and testers verifying the developed software can result in wasted effort and unsuccessful products. We propose improving the communication between project members with recommendations of whom to interact with and what to discuss based on link prediction in

We investigated the role of cultural experience in the search advantage for happy faces. European British participants living in the UK, Asian Japanese participants living in Japan, and Asian Japanese participants living in the UK, were required to search for a happy or an angry face target against a background of neutral facial expressions, using Asian Japanese and European American faces.

The landscape of healthcare is experiencing a digitalization shift, transferring many medical activities to the patients’ homes, a phenomenon commonly referred to as Hospital-at-Home. While Internet of Things (IoT) devices facilitate the building of such systems, there is a need for powerful middleware that encapsulates device-to-device communication, and enables the construction of user-friendly,

This article offers an overview of the IsiXhosa Intellectual Traditions Digital Archive, which hosts digitized texts and images of early isiXhosa newspapers and books from 1870-1914. The archive offers new opportunities for a range of research across multiple fields, and responds to debates around the importance of African intellectual traditions and their indigenous language sources in generating

Aim: To study academic, social and psychiatric outcomes among adults in the general population in southwestern Sweden. Groups of individuals born in 1998 and ineligible, eligible but not completed, and eligible and completed upper secondary school were followed in 2020. Methods: Data were retrieved from Statistics Sweden, the Swedish National Agency for Education, the Longitudinal Integrated Datab

En populärvetenskaplig artikel om när Lunds universitet fick sina första telefoner, vart de gick och något kort om när universitetet dessutom fick börja betala för sin telefoni.

The European XFEL is a research facility that delivers extremely bright and short coherent X-ray pulses of tunable energy at MHz repetition rate, providing unprecedented capabilities to conduct scientific research across multiple domains. Among the suite of deployed detectors, several ePix100 modules, belonging to the family of ePix detectors developed at SLAC, are used. These charge-integrating h
